Another film that joins this list is Rajiv Rai's "Gupt", a suspenseful thriller that shocked everyone with its climax.
Released in 1997, "Gupt" starred three superstars - Bobby Deol, Manisha Koirala, and Kajol - in lead roles. The film's plot revolves around Bobby Deol's character, who is accused of murdering his stepfather and must work with his girlfriend (Kajol) and best friend (Manisha Koirala) to clear his name and uncover the truth.
The film's climax was a masterstroke, leaving audiences stunned and speechless. In a shocking twist, it is revealed that Kajol's character, Bobby Deol's girlfriend, was the one who had murdered his stepfather. This unexpected turn of events made the film a massive hit, with audiences praising its engaging storyline and outstanding performances.
Made on a budget of Rs 9 crore, "Gupt" went on to collect Rs 33 crore worldwide, making it a commercial success. Kajol's performance in a negative role earned her a Filmfare Award, while the film's music, composed by Viju Shah, became a chartbuster with hits like "Haseeno Ka Mela", "Mushkil Bada Yeh Pyar Hai", "Mere Khwabon Mein Tu", and "Yeh Pyar Kya Hai".
The film boasted an impressive ensemble cast, including Jeeva, Kulbhushan Kharbanda, Paresh Rawal, Dalip Tahil, Prem Chopra, Sadashiv Amrapurkar, Sharat Saxena, Mukesh Rishi, and Priya Tendulkar, all of whom delivered outstanding performances. The film's success can be attributed to its gripping storyline, memorable performances, and exceptional direction by Rajiv Rai.
